Will neutrons compromise the operation of superconducting magnets in a fusion plant? | MIT News | Massachusetts Institute of Technology
New experiments show that the immediate effect of atomic displacements, known as the “beam on effect,” should not be an issue during fusion power plant operations.
Tests suggest these powerful magnets will not suffer immediate loss of performance during irradiation. David L.
